ATOM ENERGY INVESTMENT by private U.S. industry will top $500 million this year, says AEChairman Lewis L. Strauss. Companies are spending $270 million to build power reactors and $33 million for parts, $200 million for uranium mining, $25 million for research...
...about the safety of the large power reactors before they build their own, were told nothing. A few weeks ago, rumors began to circulate, and the AEC was forced to issue a brief release. But the authorities at Arco would not allow outsiders to see the damaged reactor, and AEChairman Lewis Strauss denied that even the rumors had reached...

Since the reactor could also be used to run a commercial power plant, the National Security Resources Board urged the Atomic Energy Commission to let U.S. industry apply its own huge resources to speeding up the peacetime uses'of atomic power. At year's end, AEChairman Gordon Dean promised quick action on changes in the law "necessary if private industry is to be permitted to construct and operate reactors." Moreover, Dean predicted that 1953 would see AEC itself design small, relatively cheap (perhaps $5,000,000) atomic "package" plants to generate power in remote areas where...
